Background: The back of the head can have a variety of contour deformities. One such deformity is that of excessive protrusion. This is where the back of the head exceeds what would be considered a normal convex curve. While there is no exact numerical measurement to determine what is or is not excessive, it is Read More…
Background: The nose by virtue of its central facial position and protruding structure is frequently exposed to traumatic injury. Its fixed osteocartilaginous structure can become displaced when enough force is applied. The type of nasal injury depends on the direction and amount of force to which it is exposed. Injuries that strike the nose directly Read More…
Background: The brow bones are an important aesthetic feature of the male face. Some mild ‘protrusion’ of them, and the presence of a visible brow bone break, is an identifying and attractive male feature. But when the amount of brow bone protrusion becomes too strong or prominent it becomes a dominant facial feature that is Read More…
Background: There are four access incisions in which to place breast implants. (inframammary, areolar, axillary and umbilical) Each has their own advantages and disadvantages as well as surgical advocates and opponents. Such a varied number of approaches indicates that neither one is perfect and each can potentially work well with good technique. The axillary or Read More…
Background: Undereye hollows is a very common aesthetic issue for both young and older patients alike. In older patients it is often a function of soft tissue atrophy that exposes the underlying orbital bone, creating a skeletonized appearance. Conversely in the younger patient it is more a function of a hard tissue deficiency rather than Read More…
Background: The features that make for a strong or masculine face are always skeletal in nature. The convex contours of the face, the infraorbital-malar and the jawline, provide the silhouette of a defined and more angular face. The convex contours, the so called trampoline area that lies between these two contour lines, helps add to Read More…
Background: Changing the shape of the lower face is most effectively done by skeletal augmentation. While injectable filers and fat has a valuable role to play in enhancing facial volumes, they are not effective ‘perimeter’ augmentation methods. They are too soft to create a sharp line of demarcation which is what is needed in jawline Read More…
Background: Correction of the protruding ear is the most common ear reshaping procedure done that involves cartilage manipulation. While it can be done at any age, it is perfectly acceptable to do otoplasty at a very young age. It has been shown that even as young as age two, no adverse long-term effects occur to Read More…
Background: The ear has a complex shape which is exposed to a variety of congenital deformities. The most severe congenital ear deformity is that of microtia in which the ear is either severely deformed or even largely missing. In most cases remnants of the ear are present but it is significantly misshapen and shrunken in Read More…
Background: The back of the head, known as the occiput, has many attachments and features as it encircles the foramen magnum inferiorly and ascends superiorly to become more visible. At its more superior basilar part there has numerous horizontal bony lines which represent attachments of ligaments and muscles. In the middle of these bony lines Read More…
